Can I get a COVID-19 and influenza vaccination at the same time?

According to the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI), people five years old and older may receive any of the influenza vaccines at the same time as, or at any time before or after, administration of other vaccines, including COVID19 vaccines. As a precaution, it is recommended those under five years of age separate the COVID-19 vaccine from all other vaccines by 14 days. Please refer the NACI website for more information. 

Questions and support

For questions regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years, clients and families can refer to the COVID-19 vaccine fact sheet available on our website or schedule a consult with a registered nurse at SickKids by booking an appointment time on their website.
